This was the first time we’d been to Alessandro’s since it was redone. Not for lack of interest; just a tough reservation to get! But it sure was worth the effort. The pace looks great, the service was as good as always and the food was better than I remembered. Best artichoke salad and chicken scarparella! Already can’t wait to go back. Bonus, Alessandro is the lost wonderful host. Always makes it a point to come say hi.

Christmas day menu had so many items to choose from. Everything was hot and delicious. The server was very friendly and remembered everything. Atmosphere was packed noise was loud but ok and it was so nice and warm. We felt cozy. Had a wonderful experience for our first Christmas Day meal out. We came for Mother's Day and had the same experience which is why I continue to go back. Love this place.
